GEMS Exchange APIs

AN OVERVIEW OF STREAMING SERVICES

We began with some essential agri-food data sets that are common to many applications. These form our baseline data sets, e.g., weather, soils, elevation, watersheds. Guided by UMN’s Driven to Discover ethos, we are creating a host of spatially interoperable data sets that allow any researcher to drive current and emerging data-driven solutions to agricultural challenges. Interoperability is achieved through the use of a novel discreet hierarchical grid, which is now openly available to all. For clarity, we provide the Specs for creating gridded data sets in GEMS Exchange here.

Guided by UMN’s Driven to Discover ethos, we are creating a host of fundamental data sets that allow any researcher to apply current and emerging data-driven solutions to agricultural challenges.
